Just wanted to know if im upgrading correctly

04 Rx8
50k miles
Racing beat intake
Racing beat cat back exhaust
racing beat catless mid pipe
racing beat header
Koni Shocks
ZexSmart wet nitro kit , not been sprayed yet (im scared of damage)

Heres a rundown of my track slip, considering im poor, this was my first time at the track, and the parts I put on my car, hows it doin?

R/T -.102
60' -2.169
330 -6.101
1/8 -9.475
MPH -75.11
1000 -12.096
/4 -14.797
MPH -99.7

I decided im gonna splice in the nos this weekend, run a 55shot to begin with. I figure, whats the worst that can happen? i blow my seals and buy a rebuild kit. Oh well, it needs rebuilt anyway lol.

55 shot is fine. Just try not to engage it until above 4250 rpm.
You should consider an Accessport in the future. It would help you out tuning wise.
